    The Growing Season, Inc.

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $100,000

    The Aux is a commercial redevelopment that uses real estate as a tool for racial equity. It lifts Black entrepreneurs, catalyzes community wellness and supports community wealth-building. The project will transform a 16,000 sq ft vacant building and give rise to a vibrant space for Black-owned businesses that offer a full-range of wellness services. The Aux brings an innovative redevelopment model to the Chicago area – one that disrupts entrenched barriers in banking and real estate systems with a cooperative financing and ownership model centered on social and economic impact. It innovates by working outside traditional systems, building projects that are financially supported by, owned by, developed by, and filled with businesses run by community members who employ local residents and support community well-being.
